Default Add a leaf

Will add a leaf from the previous years fit our generation trucks? I am only seeing one option of add a leaf available.

I do not believe they will. The spring is arched differently. I used the Auto Spring AAL for 2015-2020 f150's.

How do you like the auto spring? How is the ride and how much height did you gain?

I used road active suspension and removed my 4x4 block. Stock ride height, but the spring rate goes up as you load the rear. Added benefit of reduced axle wrap over add-a-leaf.

The aal gave me about 1.5" after settling. I lifted the front with bilstein 5100 so I wanted to still have 1" rake so when I am hauling junk in the bed I am not sagging real bad. The ride is firmer but not harsh. I prefer it over the soft and bouncy setup. I am using bilstein 5100 rear shocks as well.

Howdy! Do you have any pics of this set up? I’m interested in doing the exact same build.
